About Nursery Cottage
Nursery Cottage is a semi-detached house in Hothfield, Ashford, Ashford (TN26 1AN). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1250 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £497,000 sits 71.4% above the 2009 sale of £290,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 15.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
